From the May 5 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: Why are they still kneecapping Sarah Palin? Hmm? I mean, I know I'm fair game. I'm out there. But why are they still kneecapping Sarah Palin? They're out there kneecapping Bobby Jindal. They're still kneecapping -- the drive-bys, the Democrats -- Rick Santorum. They're still jumping on Joe the plumber -- a private citizen, for heaven's sake. All he did was ask Obama a question. Why are they continuing to try to destroy virtually anyone and everyone who can articulate conservatism? It's 'cause they are afraid of us.

      "All [Joe the plumber] did was ask Obama a question."

      REALLY RUSH?

      That's all he did?

      No interviews?

      No campaigning?

      No public appearances?

      No book deal?

      No "reporting"?

      REALLY???

      Sam the Fake Plumber would have a hard time articulating his order from the dollar menu at McDonalds.

      He did more than ask Obama a question. He overstayed his fifteen minutes by several months.

      And who the hell is kneecapping Rick Santorum? I mean other than Rick Santorum.

      I AGREE!

      Joe The Plumber perfectly articulates today's conservative movement: "I would never let queers near my children".

        That's why I'm all for freedom of speech. It shortens the time it takes to spot a REAL IDIOT.

      Palin, Jindal, Santorum and Wurhzelbacher. THAT'S a winning team. These guys don't need anything to be "kneecapped" other than be allowed the chance to speak. When is someone in the MSM just going to come out and admit that Joe the Effing Plumber is an Idiot? Seems everyone knows it except Joe and those people who think that Bush'43 was a great president.

        I think they should keep him as spokesman. Shine a spotlight on him, let him talk, let him spew his "thoughts" all over the airwaves--I think he's a great example of the wingnuts. Let everybody see how dishonest and ridiculous he is.

      Articulate?

      I guess that means anyone who's repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cram their head into a really dark place.

      Like sand, their ass, Rush's ass...

      This is totally ridiculous...

      Everyone knows that Sarah Palin is the only one who can really articulate Kinsurvatism.
